Torvald Grimstein

Torvald Grimstein was a respected instructor in Niðaróss. He taught local fighters and trainees, with older notes identifying him as a glima teacher who valued fair fights and learning through combat. Older NPC notes describe Torvald as a goliath Open Hand Monk with the Crafter background. He had strong mentors in both glima and stonecrafting while growing up, took pride in those abilities, and wanted to return the favor by teaching others.
